Eagle Scout is the highest rank attainable in the Boy Scouting program of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). A Scout who attains this rank is called an Eagle Scout or Eagle. Since its introduction in 1911, the Eagle Scout rank has been earned by more than 2 million young men. The title of Eagle Scout is held for life, thus giving rise to the phrase
"Once an Eagle, always an Eagle".
Requirements include earning at least 21 merit badges and demonstrating Scout Spirit through the Boy Scout Oath and Law, service, and leadership. This includes an extensive service project that the Scout plans, organizes, leads, and manages. Eagle Scouts are presented with a medal and a badge that visibly recognizes the accomplishments of the Scout. Additional recognition can be earned through Eagle Palms, awarded for completing additional tenure, leadership, and merit badge requirements.

Neil K. --Troop 345's 48th Eagle Scout
Thanks for all of the support throughout my 12 years with pack and troop 345. My success would not have been possible without help and guidance from Mr. Tom Krueger and Mr. Mitch Michelson as they have been guiding me along since before I was in scouts.
I have had the opportunity as a camp counselor to get to know dozens of troops and meet hundreds of scoutmasters. I see the way many troops function. There are few I've seen that are as educational, challenging, and stimulating for leadership than Troop 345 with Mr. Tom Krueger. I am honored to have served my scouting career with Troop 345.
Thanks, Neil K.
